A movie that has had a profound and life altering impact on my life is 8 mile. The movie stars Marshall Mathers more commonly known as Eminem. The movie revolves around a young man living in the city of Detriot that has dreams of becoming a successful rapper. Despite his many shortcomings in life which include being poor and having a lack of confidence he comes out triumphant in a local rapper battle which finally gets his the respect and confidence he had always sought after. This movie has changed my life because it showed me that I could also follow my dreams of being a musician. It also convinced me that I could be a success no matter where I come from or what income class I’m in. This movie also propelled me to start making my own music which I have been able to make a living off of. All because of one movie I have been able to support myself and provide for my family. It’s amazing how much an effect cinema can have on people’s lives.
